The Stainless Steel Branch of the China Special Steel Enterprise Association held the 2022 China Stainless Steel Industry Annual Conference with the theme of "Adapting to the New Normal and Opening up New Opportunities" in Ningde, Fujian on November 21-23, 2022, and held the China Stainless Steel Industry Development High-end Forum. Tan Naifen, Deputy Secretary General of China Shipbuilding Industry Association, introduced the development status of stainless steel ship and offshore industry market and the prospect of stainless steel demand ".

In 2021, driven by the substantial growth in demand in the international shipping market, the global new stainless steel ship market will usher in a rapid recovery. In the whole year, the world took orders for new stainless steel ships to 0.125 billion dwt, up 110 percent year-on-year, the highest since 2013.

Since 2022, the newly built stainless steel ship market has continued to show a moderate rebound, but due to the high base in the same period last year, there has been a significant decline year-on-year. From January to October, the world's new orders for stainless steel ships 68.85 million dwt, down 40% year-on-year.

With the significant increase in orders for new stainless steel ships, the prices of major new stainless steel ships have also increased since 2020. At the end of October 2022, the Clark's new stainless steel ship price composite index was 162 points, up 29.6 percent from 125 points at the beginning of 2020 when the market first started, and up 5.4 percent from the beginning of this year.

On August 8, 2022, the construction of the second domestic large-scale cruise ship was officially started in Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. of China Shipbuilding Group in Pudong, marking that China's shipbuilding industry has initially mastered the key core technology of large-scale cruise design and construction. Since then, it has entered the era of "two-wheel" construction, and the batch and serial construction of domestic large-scale cruise ships is just around the corner. About 140 tons of 304L stainless steel, 316L stainless steel and 2205 stainless steel were used in the construction of various components.

Since the beginning of this year, with the large number of exports of new energy vehicles in my country, the demand for automobile carriers by automobile manufacturers has increased significantly, which has led to a substantial increase in the freight of automobile carriers and gave birth to orders for new stainless steel ships. From January to October 2022, the world's auto carriers will take on 51 new orders, of which China has taken on 84.3 percent of the orders. In ro-ro ships (ro-ro passenger ships + car transport ships), 304L stainless steel, 316L stainless steel and 2205 stainless steel are mainly used. One is the fire fighting system. Stainless steel pipes such as 304L stainless steel, 316L stainless steel and 2205 stainless steel are generally used for weight reduction reasons. Second, the handrails are built in, which are 304L stainless steel, 316L stainless steel and 2205 stainless steel for aesthetic reasons. The whole ship will use about 16-20 tons of 304L stainless steel, 316L stainless steel, 2205 stainless steel.

As of the end of October 2022, China is holding about 97 chemical vessels with 2205 stainless steel, 1.958 million dwt, and is expected to consume about 130000 tons of duplex 2205 stainless steel. At present, China's shipping enterprises are holding 135 ro-ro ships of various types, 181.5 dwt, and are expected to consume about 3000 tons of 316L stainless steel and 2205 stainless steel. China's shipping enterprises hold 12 MARK III LNG ships, which are expected to consume 10000 tons of 316L stainless steel and 2205 stainless steel.

Tan Naifen believes that with the needs of global green development, there will be more new ship types powered by hydrogen, ammonia and methanol in the future. These new ship types will also use more 304L stainless steel, 316L stainless steel, 2205 stainless steel or stainless steel alloy materials to improve the corrosion resistance of stainless steel ships, Reduce weight and increase carrying capacity.

Therefore, the development of 304L stainless steel, 316L stainless steel and 2205 stainless steel materials in the field of stainless steel ship construction will be promising. We also welcome domestic stainless steel enterprises to increase contact and communication with us, carry out joint research and development with shipyards, and make greater achievements in the new track of "green ship.
